Hello, so last year I worked in DC and Maryland but I reside in Virginia. Do I just file taxes with Virginia ? Thanks

Virginia has tax reciprocity with both MD and DC with regard to W-2 income.   That means that your work income from MD and DC is taxable only by your resident state of VA.  

 

If your employer incorrectly withheld DC taxes, you should file DC Form D-40B in order to obtain a refund.  It is not necessary to file a DC tax return.  Here's a link to the 2022 form; the 2023 form has not yet been published.

You should also file DC Form D-4A with your DC employer to stop the DC withholding.

If your employer is based in MD, file MD Form MW507 with them in order to stop the MD withholding.

To obtain a refund of incorrectly withheld MD taxes from MD, as @ee-ea said you'll have to file a non-resident MD tax return on which you show the withholding but declare zero MD income.

On my W2 it shows I did pay taxes in Maryland and DC.
